    s&w or bushmaster

    i just ordered a bushmaster but i may sell it instead. i don't know if i'd be happy with it. would a smith be a better choice? or should i just keep my bushy? i'd be using it just for fun casual shooting.

    The Bushy would work fine for a casual plinker, but it may need to be looked over to make sure all parts are properly staked and such...

    That said...the S&W is a better built gun.

    It is not on your list, but in that price range I would really recomend you look at a Charles Daly LE carbine...

    I have had some issues with the several BM's I have tested and evaluated for my department. I have also tested each phase of the S&W rifles without any issues. So based on my experience the S&W is a better built rifle and I would prefer to have a S&W over the BM.

    Charles Daly is a great buy for the money.

    I'd second the D-M4LE, just bought one and the fit and finish is excellent, and yes everything is properly staked. My only complaint is the stock has a slight wobble but I'll be putting a Magpul CTR stock on tomorrow.

    Personally, I'm glad I chose the Smith & Wesson M&P 15 over a Bushmaster.

    Were I making the same choice today, I'd follow Buck's advice and look hard at the Charles Daly LE.

    Why did SW use Mossberg barrels. That kind of scares me. I found out today that one of my SW ar's has a Mossberg brl. I wish it didn't.

    Why ask after you buy an item? Should have reserched the subject more before you put that kind of cash on the table.

    Keep the BM... lube it, shoot it, inspect & replace worn parts. Use new G.I. mags and good brand name ammo. Enjoy your new carbine.
